On Tuesday, August 17, 1999, ZATZ:Pure Internet Publishing (that’s us!) and AvantGo, Inc. announced the availability of the world’s first mobile magazine network, available mutually through ZATZ.com and AvantGo.com. This is the first time that a complete network of magazines has been made available for mobile device users. In this article, we’ll take you through some of our experiences in setting up this capability, some of the design decisions we made, and some of the discoveries we made once the service went live. For you webmasters out there, this article will also help prepare you for implementing your own mobile delivery systems.

If you want free POP3 email on your Windows CE device and don’t want to repeat Dan’s hard work, read this article.

Okay, we admit it. Sometimes we editors at Windows CE Power Magazine like to toot our own horn. But great letters to the editor like these just have to be shared!

This month, managing editor Denise Amrich takes a stab at some interesting mail we’ve been getting. One fellow who lives in France was quite disturbed that Windows CE Power wasn’t written in French.

What can we say? Geeks must stick together and the UGeek.com site is an ideal place for Geeks to gather and, well, do Geek things. Seriously, UGeek has loads of great information on gadgets, goodies, and things to tinker with and that’s why it’s our Windows CE Power Site of the Month.
